3 What is epilepsy? Epilepsy means the same thing as seizure disorders. Epilepsy is a condition of the brain causing repeated and unpredictable seizures. A seizure is caused by a disturbance in the normal electrical activity of the brain.in A seizure is caused by a disturbance the normal electrical activity ofthese the brain. Someone may be diagnosed with epilepsy if they experience two or more of seizures separated by at least 24 hours. What are the different kinds of Someone may be diagnosed with epilepsy if they experience two or more of these seizures? seizures separated by at least 24 hours. There are many types of epilepsy and they affect people in different ways. In fact, some people use language such as episodes or fits to describe what they re going through. However, the proper term is seizure. Seizures are often classified as partial-onset (or focal-onset) seizures, generalized onset seizures, or unknown onset seizures. Approximately 60% of people with epilepsy have partial-onset seizures. Partial-onset seizures start in only one side of the brain. But, don t let the name fool you partial-onset seizures can be serious and can affect your ability to respond to what s happening around you. They deserve the full attention of you and your doctor. Partial-onset seizures can be hard to spot. In fact, some people who experience them may not even realize they re having seizures. UNDERSTANDING EPILEPSY If you ve been diagnosed with epilepsy, you might have a lot of questions running through your mind. How will epilepsy affect my daily life? Do I have to stop doing some of the things I like doing? How will it affect my family and relationships? People s answers to these questions may depend on how well they are managing their seizures. The experience of living with epilepsy is different for everyone. But a good place to start is to understand what epilepsy is and how it works. Approximately 3.4 million people in the United States are living with epilepsy. 4 1 in 26 people will develop epilepsy at some point in their lifetime. There are two types of partial-onset seizures. 1 SIMPLE PARTIAL SEIZURES (OR FOCAL-ONSET AWARE SEIZURES) can be subtle. While a person may not be able to control the seizure itself, he or she remains aware that something is going on. For example, simple partial seizures might cause an involuntary movement of the leg, an occasional sense of déjà vu, or the perception of an odor that isn t really there. 2 COMPLEX PARTIAL SEIZURES (OR FOCAL-ONSET IMPAIRED AWARENESS SEIZURES) impair consciousness or can cause some people to lose consciousness entirely. People experiencing one may appear spaced out for a moment, or have repetitive behavior such as picking at their clothes or smacking their lips. Partial-onset seizures can sometimes generalize that is, spread across the entire brain often resulting in a full-on convulsive seizure. When this happens, it is called a secondarily generalized partial-onset seizure. 5

DARRELL B., AN EPILEPSY PATIENT CURRENTLY TAKING VIMPAT FOR PARTIAL-ONSET SEIZURES VIMPAT may be the only seizure medicine you need to treat your partial-onset seizures. People who took VIMPAT experienced side effects including dizziness, headache, nausea, and double vision. When added to other seizure medicines you might be taking VIMPAT may help in the following ways: Reduce partial-onset seizures by 50% or more. Provide additional partial-onset seizure control, even if you have tried (or are currently taking) multiple epilepsy medicines. Provide additional control without having to switch from your current epilepsy medicine. People who added VIMPAT to their existing seizure medicine reported side effects including dizziness, headache, nausea, and double vision. The majority of these side effects were reported to be mild or moderate. Remember, VIMPAT may not be right for everyone. To know if VIMPAT is right for you, ask your doctor.

How is your epilepsy impacting your daily life? BRING SOMEBODY... ASK YOUR DOCTOR WHAT THEY THINK How many partial-onset seizures are too many? Are your symptoms as controlled as they could be? MAKE A PLAN WITH YOUR DOCTOR What treatment could help you achieve your personal best level of symptom control? What do you need to know about potential side effects of treatment?

SET GOALS TOGETHER What is your new treatment goal? LEARN & ASK... The right treatment for your epilepsy may help you find the right balance.
